I myself being a self-confessed shoe addict, I simply cannot stockpile shoes more than my closet can hold. I confess my shoe closet is overflowing with shoes and hence I now store my shoes in boxes on my cupboard :P Its really a difficult task to choose as to what should be  given away in order to make space for new shoes during my shoe closet cleaning ! :p No matter how many people tell you that one can never have enough shoes , t is also important to keep the space and budget in mind!

Also next time you are closet cleaning you will know what are the essential shoes and invest only in them.

A statement pair  or what I also like to call "Smiling shoes" are in fact just an outrageous pair that transform an otherwise boring outfit in to a jaw dropping look ! Lemme explain ! A statement shoe has the ability to lift your spirits  and turn a bad & awful day in a happy one!

Every woman needs a pair of shoes that will make people have a double take.

4. COMFORTABLE OXFORDS :

Slip into your comfortable oxfords on those days when you’ve really got your hands full. You’ll be comfy and look chic. Well if sneakers are not your style, oxfords in colorful prints are a wonderful alternative. There's just something about a pair of Oxford shoes that makes me go wheee! I love the vintage look oxford shoes exude along with their masculine vibe . Summing up in two words ‘Pure Bliss!’

5. THE FLAT SANDAL

While we're still at summer, here’s another comfortable pair of shoes a girl must have in her shoe closet!  A lovely pair of sandals ! The ubiquitous summer shoe to pair with everything from cut-off shorts to a floral maxi dress!

6. SEXY BLACK BOOTS:

Black sexy boots every woman must own

Whether you prefer the cool knee-high BOOTS, or the sexy over-the-knee style, or ankle length boots in black,sleek black leather boots, Boots in black will take you places in this world.. quipping it up one can never go wrong with a black pair of boots.

7. HAPPY GO WEDGES :

wedges trending

Coming to my favorite pair – Wedges : which is a preppy-wardrobe staple! I love wedges which have a zip closure behind ! If you are up for some shopping at the mall or in pot-holed Indian streets or want to go to a brunch, you simply cannot don a pair of stilettos or heels but sometimes even flats won’t do either. That’s when happy go wedges come into the picture! Summer wedges are daytime shoes with a fab nighttime attitude. Super love them because they are so easy to walk in, look fantastic with practically anything and are the best of both worlds. Do we need any more reasons to label this as an essential pair of shoes every woman should have? I think not. Plus wedges lend a lot of height and a lot of style *wink*

8. Block Heels

Block heels essentials of every shoe closet

You simply cannot wear those pointy heels every time you want to step out. Sometimes a woman needs height plus style plus comfort which can be fulfilled only by a pair of summer wedges !! Wedges are now slowly turning into a quintessential pair that will always be timeless. Every woman must own these pair as they add instant sophistication to any outfit!

So these where my eight MUST HAVE shoes every woman should have in order to be stylishly pulled together no matter what the occasion. Do you have any other pair of shoes in mind? feel free to share what your must have shoe list reads . I’m always looking for new ideas. :D

Until next time

Ballerinas with Ethnic wear
April 21, 20150 Comments

I have enough shoes and dresses said no girl ever. We girls just love splurging on shoes , there is nothing like the joy of finding the perfect pair of footwear which are both comfortable and stylish. The choice of footwear makes a loot of difference as it can both make or break your look so it is important that you choose a right pair which will bring the whole ensemble together.

Indian wear especially the likes of a lehenga or a saree require a lot of effort in carrying them off and that is precisely why you should opt for comfortable footwear to stay at ease. Most women opt for heels when it comes to traditional wear as it gives them the required height a lehenga or saree demands in addition to looking fabulous on the feet. But at what cost are you getting the height and style? It is important to strike a balance between style and comfort and ballet shoes bring you that perfect balance. If you choose a perfect pair ballerina shoes can give you comfort yet take your look to a whole new level. If you really want height choose for a pair with a small heel .



Inspired by ballet slippers worn by ballet dancer Ballerina shoes are stylish , comfortable and versatile. Mojris or juttis are the more indianized version of ballerinas and look amazing with kurtis, lehengas, chudidars, harem pants, sharara pants  and even patialas. You can wear them all year round to any event and so these shoes are a fashion must have.

Tips to wear Ballet shoes:
  • Keep them vibrant and colorful to help them not look too simple
  • If  you are wearing Ballerinas for an occasion then wear something which stands out. Like a laser cut one or embellished ones. 
  • Since Ballet flats tend to look simple you can experiment with textures and chic embellishments like bows,ghungroos, mirrors , shells and buckles
  • Embrace sequins and stones to bring in bling to your ethnic look at weddings.
  • Always have long trails in your ballet flats as some of these shows tend to make feet uncomfortable because of fit issues. 
Tip: 
Keep a trendy pair of bellies always ready for an urgent shopping outing or any place out where you'll have to walk a lot. When it comes to a whole day being spent shopping at the mall, bellies are a BIG blessing! We don't want to wear heels and get aching foots the next day now do we?!! :)

Mini haul from Limeroad.com
November 13, 20140 Comments
This haul happened sometime around February. Yup! That late an update - Blame it on 'laziness!'
Now, not wanting to delay it further, here I am! :)

Limeroad.com  is a lovely place to shop from. You get all types of products which will suit every women's tastes! 

I had already bought a pair of pumps from 'Balujas', Limeroad, a few days prio to this haul and was totally besotted with them. They were gold and screamed 'GORGEOUS'. You can check them out here.

So, I wanted them in more colors and this pair turned out more prettier with all the lace detailing! ^^
 They look more prettier in reality. The pictures do NO justice! 
 These cost me around 899/- 
 Love 'em! ^^
These are the other two things I brought along with the pumps. While the pumps were a total eye-candy, these too didn't score that well!

That sparkle eyeliner was not that bad, I liked it, but the peel off mask was a burning nightmare! When I say 'burning' I literally mean it! >_<

The trio with their different skin types (Read: Me:Combination; Najmun: Oily; Zooni: Dry) tried this out and it was a different level of disaster for each one of us.

It felt like someone had just skinned my face alive! TOTALLY dries your skin, and screw the 'cleansing' part!

Bling Sparkle Trio advice: Buy the above mask only if you have 'down to earth' oily skin! Rest of you, stay away from such brands!

By the by, the pumps were real pretty and that covers the little masky disaster, so no pain here! :)

Limeroad.com Review: Golden Pumps haul!
March 26, 2014 2 Comments
The journey as a scrapbooker has been very engaging, rewarding and lovely! It feels so great to indulge in doing something I so truly love and also get a compensation for it! At times I have been annoyed by their "no return" policy(for store credits users only) but I have got to learn so much and improve my online shopping and fashion designing skills all the same...

Now let me share my 'not-so-recent' shopping experience at Limeroad.com with you all! I placed this order a month before my sister's wedding. 

If you follow my personal blog Confessions Of StilettoManiac(You don't? Whaaatt!!! Go NOW!) you will remember me sharing a disappointing experience with the same website(Limeroad.com) and vowing never to buy shoes online! Well... turns out, that people or rather say shoe lovers often have to eat their words! 

When I came across these gorgeous Golden textured pumps, I couldn't resist the urge to make them mime. Before I knew it, I had ordered them, ignoring the fact that the shoe size can go completely wrong. 

Luckily, yes VERY luckily, when the shoes arrived, they were gorgeous and the best part - they fit me very well! Yay! \m/ :D
Limeroad.com has improved is shipping services a lot! Before(months back) the packages took at least 8-10 days to reach my house. Now they arrive in good span of two days itself! 

The heeled shoe collection at Limeroad.com is quite impressive! They have something which can suit every taste and budget! These gorgeous pumps were priced reasonably at Rs 899/- Hadn't expected so much on seeing them virtually but when they arrived, they were amazing and I guess they were totally worth it!

The texture of the shoes is lovely and the semi-flat heel designing is impressive! It doesn't tire out my feet and helps me wear them for a longer duration.
I bought them to match the 'Lehenga Anarkali' I was going to wear for my Sis's reception. Their unique hooked front design blended beautifully with my ethnic outfit and they didn't tire me out through the four hour long reception too!
These shoes are not available at Limeroad anymore but the similar shape of shoes from the same brand with different design is available. You can have a look HERE|HERE and buy them if you love them as much as I do!
Verdict:
Website: Limeroad.com
Rating: 4/5
Shipping: 5/5
Pricing: 3/5
Quality: 5/5
Love
